Right now Im just going for around 300hp with my tranny cooler and a valve body and pro tune should be fine for that. No I dont want anymore my cars for show. ( Yes I'm 110% sure stopping at 300hp) haha I know someone will say youll always want more

I DD'd my car with just an IPT valve body and cooler on 300 whp until I blew my motor. It could however take 16psi on the transmission just not the engine. Cost like 500 for everything... Or something like that.

not to mention the time it would possibly take the shop to build your trans, you could already have done the manual swap and have a trans ready to take 400-500hp+ for half the price
